[DeTomaso] Speedo cable

[Dave McManus]

Opps. You might want to become better informed before you call Roland a bozo. Just sayin'. Roland is one of the most informed owners. I agree with Roland. Fix it properly for about 65 USD.

Who is this bozo? One example from one owner to make a conclusion of all owners.Sounds like he has a much deeper problem in his life. Get help.

All.

This is an example, why Panteras have a bad reputation. Owners only look 
for a quick fix instead of a real repair. That's why these cars fail so 
often !

Is a two hours job too bad to do? Or is a new speedo cable too 
expencive? You guys invest more in your mobile phones than in a classic 
car !
